[Lost Finale Spoiler]

YES! AAHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA OMFG

YES THAT'SEXACTLY WHAT I HAD IN MIND THOSE DICK HOLES ARE GONNA DO SOMETHING GAY LIKE THAT THEN CUT TO BLACK! IT WOULDNT BE THE SHOW LOST IF THEY EVER EXPLAINED ANYTHING! LOL I loved that great 3d animation, good 2d, and overall just funny. 7/10!

[Get Blue (demo)]

I'm all for artisitcs but,

I understand the style you're trying to get at, I'm not worried about the graphics being non human, but the animations are still choppy which is never good, if you smooth up that fbf the whole thing would look miles better. Secondly I thouhgt it was fairly short, and I realize a demo but with this length it's more like a teaser. One thing that kinda pissed me off was the key, why does everyone make keys look like that? (lol?) Hah, I know it's not anything big but every game uses keys like that and who in real life ACTUALLY DOES? LOL. In something non-serious it's kinda fitting cause that's an iconic key but since I've got a large feeling this isn't supposed to be funny or like light action, I'd change small details like that. For gameplay it's meh, choose your own adventures can be good and can be bad, always try to have a mix between the obvious answer being right and the not so obvious, but please dont make it random give hints in the scene which will kill you and which won't. I donno guess thats all I gotta say. I'll give you a six outta ten but probobly rate your full one a 7-10.

Thanks for the review :P - if only I could go back in time 7 years and tell my 16yo self what you just said

[Tablet vs Pencil]

Personally

I'm not too found of tablets, they are made to simulate regular drawing but I think they fail in many ways. I am much more skilled at animating with pen and paper although it is a little inconvenient. I personally prefer pen and paper but I think if you're good with a tablet it looks more 'clean' and professonal. Your animation here was nothing too amazing but that special little bonus of having it done twice in different styles made it unique and memorable. Not gonna vote too high (sorry) but I think a 7 out of 10 is reasonable.

martiescageda responds:

Thanks for sharing your opininon. Personally I like drawing directly on my computer, I save time (and paper); but the "feeling" of pen and paper is different, the animation feels "alive"...

BTW, the score you gave me is OK.

[Run N Jump Demo 1]

Not Gonna Lie, Not very Good

Well it appears no personal scripting was done here as it follows the generic Platform Tutorial engine, if it was custom made you would know enough about scripting to keep those 'orbs' from being tweens. I read through the story and understood the premise but no real thought was put into it it's your regular good/evil plotline, but I understand story isn't the biggest part. Gameplay is. Which unfortunately for you it's pretty weak. The gameplay is just like any other platformer, lacking the twist that makes it unique. The animations were poor and rushed such as the characters running (what the hell was that lol) and the orbs shooting towards you. The music was annoying as hell and lastly the graphics. Nothing special, actually quite un-special (if that's a word) due to the lack of custom colours, you used default black and red and those shitty gradiants that come pre-prepared in Flash MX - Flash CS4. I'm not trying to say it's all terrible but I'm pointing out the bad. The good is the fact that you've expirimented and gotten that much better at flash. Everyone has to start somewhere, so with you making this you'll get enough expirience with flash to make better movies. I've come a long way in three years making from what your quallity platformers to full fledged shooter engines. (You won't find much on my page but...) Keep with the flash and last out through the douchbaggery reviews like mine here, and one day you'll be writing your own script wether you belive you will or not. I sure as shit didn't.

Zeck2709 responds:

Thanks a lot for the words of wisdom, i do know that most of the game is pretty shitty, and am currently working on everything in it to actually finish it and make it... well, better than it is.

[Modern Gladiators]

Very, Very, Weak

Hittests are off, graphics are bad, maps out of porprtion and distorted, weapon gfx's are traced bitmaps, menu music is bad ect. Basically though it all comes down to the crappy gameplay even without addons and stuff if the engine is good it coulda beeen fun. I give you 4 for effort cause I know scripting is hard but seriously, were you high? At what point did you say to yourself, 'you know what? This game is good.'

[Samurai Tournament]

Very good idea

Needs some perfection though, maybe different types of attacks that take longer but do more damage? I dunno just felt it got a little repetitive but mostly it's awesome. Very good graphics too!

[Rucklo - Endless Handbag Remix]

Freaking Awesome

This song is meh, until at like 0:26 that insturment thing makes me like overload with hapiness. This is one of the best pieces of music ever created by anyone ever.

Rucklo responds:

Yikes, dude! I'm very happy that you like the remake! Don't forget to check out the original tune in case you haven't though, there's a link in the song description above. :)

[Character and Toon Voices]

Nice Range of Voices

Very good range, kinda funny subbjects to talk about, keeps the VA reel less boring good work.

[March_To_Eternity [Box-Killa]]

Nice Dramatic Song, Suspensful Intro too

Great job, sounds like the kinda music in old RPGs as Cross666 said, nice work!

[My Dream Boss]

Creative I guess but,

Although it's creative it's overall not that impressive, I'm sure this took you the good part of an hour maybe more, but I don't think this alone is good enough to be on the art portal. If you incorporated it into a metal slug scene maybe it would be better, also in case you didn't notice there's a lighter shaded patch in between his arm and his body on the right hand side.

[Weapons Sheet]

Very Nice

Great job, I love drawing guns in flash as well, just curious though, what kind of game will this be used in? Anyways lots of detail, nice angles, fair variety and all in all very neatly done.

IStumpyI responds:

An over-the-head shooter, I almost think I put in too much detail because when zoomed out it just looks like a big black box.

[soundsystem paradox]

err not quite sure...

err not quite sure what to think. its a bunch of black boxes on a red background with red lines and black filled circles. it looks kinda neat but you should put more effort into your stuff. this took you fifteen minutes? hmm, from all that being said i can but only suppose you're a beginner to ms paint so ill have to give you a 5.

therealanimator responds:

yeah...i know it took me 15 minutes but i didnt have a lot to work with but thanks for your feedback it means a lot.
